Alpine Rice

Grains provide the bulk of nutrition to almost the entire world’s billions of people. In most parts of the world we rely heavily on only eight or so species of plants for grain – wheat, rice, maize, sorghum, oats, barley, rye and millet.

Alpine Rice Press Release

Did you know Australia is the only country in the world that doesn’t commercially harvest its own native grains?
Instead, we have introduced annual grain crops that not only require a huge amount more time, work and money than native seeds but also cause damage to our native environment.
This product has been proudly developed by an Australian company, Native Seeds Pty Ltd, Alpine Rice is a fantastic alternative to annual crops and introduced grain species.

Although there are plenty of native grass seeds grown throughout Australia, Alpine Rice is the first native grain that can be harvested here. It grows along Australia’s south east coast and Great Dividing Range.

Its gluten free and protein rich qualities, as well as its ability to grow in Australia’s dry environment without the use of herbicides, means Alpine Rice is the perfect native alternative for farmers.
